As legit as it comes...You have to try it. We made this the following weekend O.U.P posted this, it was borderline illegal lol !!

W V is telling Y'all straight and I can promise you that this Recipe came from the West Mississippi River Delta Cotton Fields of Arkansas

I'm looking into making this and in the directions, looking like it's at the merengue portion, it mentions adding the cream of tartar and sugar, but in the ingredient list, cream of tartar is absent. How much is needed? Please and thank you!

Talk about "Above and Beyond" - - I just woke her up to ask how much and after I told her it was a member of the Tex BBQ Forum she cooled down and told me it was 1and1/2 teaspoon sprinkled in as you whoop the egg whites - - - - she also said she's been cooking that since she was 11 years old - - - back when Moby Dick was just a minnow
